Chapter 14, Problem 4PQ
While working on homework together, your friend stands her pencil on its sharpened tip. You say, “Nice trick. How did you do it?” Why do you think some trick had to be involved? Would you ask the same question if the pencil were lying on its side or if the pencil were unsharpened?

If you grasp a hammer by its lightweight handle and wave it back and forth, and then grasp it by its much heavier head and wave it back and forth, as in the figure, you’ll find that you can wave the hammer much more rapidly in the second case, when you grasp it by the head. Explain why this is so.
A stick is resting on a concrete step with 29 of its total length ? hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at ?=62.1∘
with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.09
times the mass of the stick and the stick is 15.1 cm long, what is the magnitude ? of the angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown? Use ?=9.81 m/s2.

- You are attending a county fair with your friend from your physics class. While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.500 kg and length = 2.00 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in Figure P11.43. The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.0 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position, you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this technique. Figure P11.43arrow_forwardFigure P10.31 shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 150 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Find (a) the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail and (b) the force exerted by the surface on the point of contact with the hammer head. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. Figure P10.31arrow_forwardConsider the disk in Problem 71. The disks outer rim hasradius R = 4.20 m, and F1 = 10.5 N.

- Water parks often include a log rolling area, in which participants try to stay upright while balancing on top of floating logs that are free to rotate in the water. If you’ve tried this, you know that the larger the diameter of the log, the easier it is to balance on top. Explain why this is so.arrow_forwardOn average, both arms and hands together account for 13%13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0%7.0% and the trunk and legs account for 80%.80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally. Suppose a 65.0 kg skater is 1.80 m tall, has arms that are each 72.0 cm long (including the hands) and a trunk that can be modeled as being 36.0 cm in diameter. The skater is initially spinning at 74.0 rpm with her arms outstretched. What will her angular velocity ?2 be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and holds them tightly against her trunk? Assume negligible friction between the skater and the ice.arrow_forwardA stick is resting on a concrete step with 1/3 of its total length ? hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at ?=56.9∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure. If the mass of each bug is 3.26 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 18.7 cm long, what is the magnitude ? of the angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown?

- A 75 kg man's arm, including the hand, can be modeled as a 72-cm-long uniform cylinder with a mass of 3.7 kg.arrow_forwardFor the purposes of this problem, we’ll assume a simple model of the operation of your foot and ankle. We’ll assume that your foot pivots as a single structure about a single pivot in the ankle. This simple model will help us explore the operation of the ankle joint and draw some interesting conclusions. Let’s take your foot as the object of interest. When you stand on tiptoe, your foot pivots about your ankle. As shown, the forces on one foot are an upward force on your toes from the floor, a downward force on your ankle from the lower leg bone, and an upward force on the heel of your foot from your Achilles tendon. Suppose a 61 kg woman stands on one foot, on tiptoe, with the sole of her foot making a 25° angle with the floor; the distances are as shown. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the tendon? By what fraction does this force exceed the woman’s weight? What is the…arrow_forwardA meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0 cm mark.

With two 3.29 g coins stacked over the 35.8 cm mark, the stick is found to balance at the 47.6 cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?arrow_forwardOn average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0% and the trunk and legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally. Suppose a 71.0 kg skater is 1.60 m tall, has arms that are each 66.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be modeled as being 33.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 73.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will her angular velocity wa be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk?
